Rabanne has unleashed a fragrant double act that’s destined to dominate perfume counters across Australia. Enter Invictus Victory Absolu and Olympea Absolu, two intense new signatures designed to redefine what power and sensuality mean in the modern world of fragrance.
On the men’s side, Invictus Victory Absolu storms onto the scene with a presence as bold as volcanic rock. Its iconic trophy bottle, now draped in matte black and topped with a high-gloss cap, hints at the raw force within. Perfume legends Caroline Dumur and Anne Flipo crafted an ambery, woody, and spicy accord that crackles with contrast: fresh black pepper surges over sensual amber and creamy sandalwood. The result is a masculine statement that feels both fierce and refined—a fragrance engineered for men who carve their victories in stone. Available in 50ml, 100ml, and a mighty 200ml size, Invictus Victory Absolu is made from 90% natural origin ingredients and is entirely vegan, proving that sustainability and strength can indeed go hand in hand.
Not to be outdone, Olympea Absolu steps into the spotlight for women ready to reveal their brilliance after dark. Inspired by the radiance of a solar eclipse over a volcanic beach, this fragrance wraps the wearer in a seductive glow. Perfumers Paul Guerlain and Caroline Dumur have woven a tapestry of super-addictive jasmine and benzoin, fused with a surprisingly decadent coffee cream facet. A juicy apricot accord adds a velvet touch, creating a floral gourmand trail that’s luminous yet mysterious. The striking circular Olympea bottle is reborn in glossy black with gleaming gold accents, echoing Rabanne’s fashion heritage and pairing elegantly with the men’s Invictus bottle for a visual power couple. Olympea Absolu is also vegan and crafted with 90% natural origin ingredients, and comes in 30ml, 50ml, and 80ml sizes.
Together, these new launches remind us that Rabanne’s vision extends far beyond fashion—it’s a house where every scent tells a story of triumph, confidence, and individuality.
